If it could be put to use in a pragmatic manner on a wide scale, then great news.

Nonetheless, the thought that comes to mind is that we simultaneously need to restrict the production of plastic by upping the investment into biodegradable products.

At the contrary, now that enzymes eat away at the plastic garbage, why bother with downsizing the supply of plastic?
